Various diary updates of fishing, wildlife, surfing and kayaking trips mainly in the West and South West of England. As I live near Bristol (UK) many of the blogs will be focussed around this area.

Fly fishing for Pike on the Frome

Nothing quite like a bit of piking when the pumpkins come out. Spent day guesting on Avon & Tribs on the Frome. A lot of fish about but only two coming to hand or net with Red and I catching a fish a piece. Mine just about 5lb but his probably just shy of double figures. I did connect with two other fish, one a particularly good fish which I had on for quite some time before it shook the hook. Sometimes I think the teeth just get caught up on the fly and that is why its not a solid hook up. Great day in lovely setting.

About Me

I appreciate all types of fishing including both fresh and saltwater, game and coarse. I love kayaking and regularly fish from a kayak with friends and family.
I am interested in all wildlife and this coincides nicely with my main activities of surfing, fishing and kayaking where many of my most privileged experiences have taken place.
I live near Bristol, and fish a variety of local patches always trying to mix it up, fishing less popular locations just to seek out surprises. Some of my favoured locations are: the Bristol Frome, Wellow Brook and the River Chew. Further a field I fish Cornwall’s trout streams, Wiltshire’s Nadder and Hampshire Avon, together with the South and Cornish Coast.
I surf and its usually at Woolacombe, Kimmeridge, Penhale or Fistral. If I am lucky enough to be on Tenerife during the Winter months I will surf or fish on the South West coast. somewhere.
